    Hi,

    I have a site currently runing Catch Kathmandu Pro v4.4 and want to upgrade it to v5.4.2 – I know I should haven’t waied so long but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It has a child theme with some customisations but ovbiously over time I have used the features of the Kathmandu theme to format the website how I want using the theme options. I know there are lots of differences in the theme dashboard between v4.4 and v5.4.2 so if I upgrade to v5.4.2 are there are special measures I should take, apart from taking a backup of everything first and will I lose any formating. I have several intermediatory versions of the theme should I go step-by-step or just do it all in one step?

    Thanks

    Hi Paul,

    The Catch Kathmandu version 4.4 was released on August 20, 2015. So, it’s already 10 years now. I am surprised at how the theme is still working on your website. There have been a lot of changes; you can see the changelog at https://catchthemes.com/themes/catch-kathmandu-pro/#changelog.

    So yes, the first thing you do is to take a backup of everything.
    Then, update the Catch Kathmando pro to version 5.4.2 and also update WordPress and plugins.
    You will get every function moved to Theme Customizer at “Appearance => Customize”, it’s the same as theme options
    You can update directly to version 5.4.2.

    Regards,
    Sakin
